Website Design

Website Design in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham and Across the UK

When looking for a web designer many people first think of the cost involved. Whilst this should be an important factor in choosing a good quality website design company, the prime focus should be on choosing a company that can deliver your brand as authentically as possible via digital media. A website is the online representation of your offline company (or perhaps is your only presence if you are an online only business) and as such it is vital that it gives delivers the right tone to fit with your brand. If you are starting from scratch then you should also consider the organic traffic benefits of implementing good on-page SEO from the beginning – a search engine friendly website structure is going to make life a lot easier and save you a lot of money in the long run.

If you already have a website and are looking for a re-design then why not complete our audit below to gain an idea of what you might ask your web developer to focus on in terms of search engine optimisation.

WordPress Based Web Design

We tend to develop most of our websites on the content management system WordPress. There are two main reasons for this:

1. WordPress websites are easy to manage and make changes to – meaning that you can easily add new articles/blogs, change written content if needed or add/modify images.

2. WordPress based websites tend to be naturally well optimised for search engines which means more traffic to your website.

Our WordPress based websites are suitable for most local business types and are also suitable for e-commerce, membership sites and blogs. We design your website so it is bespoke to your needs and we ensure your brand’s core values shine through from homepage to last page.

Our Work

ConnectEd Partnership

ConnectEd Partnership are an education service provider based in Wolverhampton and provide support to schools across the UK. They asked us to collaborate with them to design a unique website that could form a variety of functions and it had to include a secure members area.

We worked with them to design a front facing public site that was in keeping with their brand and to develop a members area with multi-levels of access for different membership types. The site includes forums, file sharing, event booking and many more advanced features and at last count had 69 pages in total.

You can see the site for yourself at www.connectedpartnership.com

Payrollability

Having worked with Payrollability for some time we both knew it was time for a refresh of the website and brand. Nadine asked us to provide a brand new design concept and although she didn’t tell us exactly what she wanted we had an idea from our work over the previous 12 months.

Since redesigning the site, enquiries have increased significantly and the design represents the brand much more clearly.

The website brief was such that it had to include a blog that could easily be updated and it had to include email capture. We worked closely with Payrollability to ensure that the email automation was closely integrated with the website and provided tutorials on how to access the blog and keep the content fresh.

Mandy Williams Make-up

Mandy came to us to ask for advice on her website. She was previously using Wix and was not happy with how her website looked and performed. She was also concerned that potential customers could not find her through local search and in particular the Google map pack.

We discussed what was needed with Mandy and set to work. As a major part of the design, we implemented on page SEO as we do with every site we work on. Mandy was really happy with the design as it hit her brief perfectly, which was to keep the site clean and uncluttered and really show off the fantastic imagery that showcased her talent.

Two weeks later Mandy contacted us to say her enquiries were flooding in and that she was booked up for weddings almost every weekend. She had also had lots of prom enquiries too.

The result of our work was that she now sat position 1 in maps for the search term ‘makeup artist Bromsgrove’ where prior to our work she was not present at all.
